00:00:00Hello, new neighbor.
00:00:05Hi.
00:00:06I like your hair.
00:00:12Eloise Jarvis.
00:00:13Oliver McCaffrey.
00:00:14Pleased to meet you, Oliver.
00:00:16My house is right around back there, so it makes us neighbors now.
00:00:20Hey, would you lift that one for me?
00:00:23Straw helps collect the heat during the day and keeps the moisture off at night.
00:00:27There you go.
00:00:29Spread that out.
00:00:32Did you plant these?
00:00:33Kind of planted themselves.
00:00:35Hmm.
00:00:36Well, how did they get planted in the first place?
00:00:39Well, Clive Rutledge kept the garden out here for years.
00:00:42Who's Clive Rutledge?
00:00:45You're living in his house.
00:00:46At least it used to be his.
00:00:49Here.
00:00:50Take a load off, Oliver.
00:00:54Clive came to Emery Falls to teach back in 1925.
00:01:00He moved into this house the very first week.
00:01:03Got married, raised his daughter, lived here his whole life.
00:01:07He even died here.
00:01:09Wow.
00:01:10Hmm.
00:01:11He quit putting in a garden after a while, but the pumpkins, they just keep coming back.
00:01:16Well, why'd he stop planting a garden?
00:01:18Well, nobody knows.
00:01:19You know, there are a lot of stories about Clive Rutledge.
00:01:24Never sure which ones to believe.
00:01:25How do you know all this stuff?
00:01:27I am sort of Emery Falls' town historian.
00:01:30Unofficially, of course.
00:01:32Hmm.
00:01:33Yeah.
00:01:34Well, this old pumpkin patch, this is part of the town's history, so, uh, I'm sort of
00:01:39the self-appointed pumpkin tender.
00:01:41Hope you and your folks don't mind.
00:01:43Heck no.
00:01:44Tender what?
00:01:45Oh.
00:01:46You know what?
00:01:47I gotta get to work.
00:01:49Uh, nice chatting with you, Oliver.
00:01:51I'm gonna leave my straw in my wheelbarrow over there, okay?
00:01:56See you around.
00:01:57That you will.
00:02:13Want some help?
00:02:14No.
00:02:15It's getting there.
00:02:16Remember?
00:02:17Who's that?
00:02:18That's Mr. Parker.
00:02:19Are you working?
00:02:20Are you working today?
00:02:21I didn't think so.
00:02:22Doug?
00:02:23Karen?
00:02:24How you doing?
00:02:25Oh.
00:02:26Moving truck drove right past the office window.
00:02:27I figured I'd come out and welcome my new editor to town.
00:02:28And his lovely family.
00:02:29Very nice to see you again, Mr. Parker.
00:02:30Get your stack of like numbers.
00:02:31Looks like you have another visitor.
00:02:32Yeah.
00:02:33There they are.
00:02:34Hey, neighbors.
00:02:35Lindsay, what a surprise.
00:02:36Welcome to Emery Falls.
00:02:38They're still warm.
00:02:41Just a little tradition I have, uh, for your first day in your new home.
00:02:46Well, thank you very much.
00:02:47I just knew this was gonna be a match made in heaven.
00:02:48I can always feel it when it's the right house for the right family.
00:02:49Still wanna know how you gave us such a great deal on this place.
00:02:50Let's just say the previous owner was a millionaire.
00:02:51He was a millionaire.
00:02:52He had to get rich.
00:02:53So I paid him.
00:02:54I paid him, I paid him.
00:02:55I paid him, I paid him.
00:02:56I paid him.
00:02:57I paid him.
00:02:58I paid him.
00:02:59I paid him.
00:03:00I paid him.
00:03:01I paid him.
00:03:02I paid him.
00:03:03I paid him.
00:03:04I paid him.
00:03:05I paid him.
00:03:06I paid him.
00:03:07owner was um motivated. Apparently Mr. Dexter got some job offer out of town. It must have
00:03:13been good because he was packed and out of here in no time. Guess it's all in the timing.
00:03:17Speaking of which, you're obviously busy so I'll get out of your hair. And I'll see you
00:03:20bright and early Monday morning at the Herald. Looking forward to it. I'm gonna grab that
00:03:24sale sign. Oh, let me help you. Hey guys, guess what? There's no internet. Stay calm.
00:03:35She can smell fear.
00:04:05Honey, I'm looking for you.
00:04:22You okay? I just got a little dust in my eye. Oh, okay. Wow. It's all this stuff.
00:04:35Maybe Dexter forgot it. You know, Randall did say he left in a hurry. I don't know how he could
00:04:41forget it. There were some good-looking antiques there. Well, I'll talk to Lindsay tomorrow and
00:04:46she can tell me where to get hold of them. Right after I take care of the phones and the internet.
00:04:55No rush. I kind of like the quiet. No phones, no internet. Take up our lives.
00:05:01McCaffrey's unplugged. Yeah. Really? Yeah, Mom's right. It gives us a chance to talk,
00:05:08just the four of us. Yeah, it's called family time.
00:05:12Something we're gonna have a lot more of. Right. Right, buddy? Right.
00:05:19Well, I'll clear the table.
00:05:32Oh, I gotta make the beds. You're done, right? Jenny, I'll give you a hand.
00:05:37Well, I guess we're done talking.
00:06:08Okay, so we just have to unload everything and then we'll begin.
00:06:32What? Honey, could...
00:06:37It's all right. I got it. Don't you worry. You just, you know, do your thing.
00:06:44I'll do everything else.
00:06:51Hey, have you seen my half-inch drill bit? Yeah, it's in my bag next to the
00:06:54socket wrench and the miter saw. Sorry. Thank you. I had it just a minute ago.
00:07:01Where's Oliver? He's testing out his new library card.
00:07:08Curtains look different.
00:07:17That is the third time that's happened.
00:07:31Honey, is this the drill bit you were looking for?
00:07:36What? It was right there.
00:07:40But I...
00:08:02Oh,
00:08:06Emory Falls of yesteryear. These pictures were taken during the Great Depression.
00:08:14Hey there, Oliver. Small world. Eloise.
00:08:18So what do you think? It's great.
00:08:22You know, these children, they didn't have two pennies to rub together,
00:08:26but they never missed a day of school. They must really liked it then.
00:08:30They loved Mr. Rutledge. Clive Rutledge?
00:08:33One and the same. That's the guy who lived at my house.
00:08:37Of course, that was taken when he was just starting out. He taught here for more than 30 years.
00:08:43Wow. He was so happy then.
00:08:51All right, Ethan. Let's see if this works.
00:08:54Yes! Look out, world. Jenny McCaffrey is back.
00:09:15Hey, kid. A little help?
00:09:17Sure.
00:09:24Nice kick. Yeah, for a girl.
00:09:30Jenny, I could use some help down here in my new office. This is the third time I've had to ask you.
00:09:36Five more minutes, I promise. Jenny, I am not going to ask you again.
00:09:40Okay, okay, I'm coming. Jennifer Margaret McCaffrey!
00:09:45Okay!
00:09:46Ew! Ew, what is that smell?
00:10:03So, I'm thinking this for the kitchen, and... Okay.
00:10:20Who was that guy in the attic? In the attic?
00:10:22Yeah. I don't think so.
00:10:24I saw him when Lindsay first showed us the place. She said some previous owners had remodeled.
00:10:29Yeah, I did a renovation, closed up the attic. No one's been up there for years.
00:10:32At least I just smell things. I saw him.
00:10:46Thanks, Ron.
00:10:54Doug McCaffrey.
00:10:55I got a scoop for you, Mr. Editor. Our phones work.
00:10:58My baby, you're back in business.
00:11:00Looks that way. How are things going over there?
00:11:02Uh, crazy. A lot of catching up to do. I may have to miss dinner.
00:11:07Doug...
00:11:07Honey, it's just this once, I promise.
00:11:09I'll keep a plate warm.
00:11:10Okay.
00:11:11Doug, will you have a minute?
00:11:14Honey, I gotta go.
00:11:14Not too late.
00:11:15Yeah, famous last words.
00:11:17Bye.
00:11:18Bye.
00:11:20I thought Dad didn't have to work late anymore.
00:11:23Oh, honey, being editor is a big job. You might just have to put in a few more hours.
00:11:26It's gonna be like before. We're never gonna see him.
00:11:29No, it won't, sweetie. It's just until he settles in.
00:11:36Hello, Karen McCaffrey.
00:11:38Yes, Mrs. Garber, could you hold for one second?
00:11:41Honey, it's Mrs. Garber.
00:11:42She finally made a decision about the color of her living room.
00:11:45I have to take it before she changes her mind again.
00:11:47Hi.
00:11:48Right, just give me one second to get in my office and I will work that out for you.
00:11:52Yes.
00:11:53Well, we just moved and...
00:11:55Don't worry, we got it covered.
00:11:59Where is it?
00:12:01Where's what?
00:12:01This isn't funny, give it back.
00:12:03I don't know what you're talking about.
00:12:04I put my mp3 on my desk and now it's gone.
00:12:07Well, I didn't take it.
00:12:08Then where is it?
00:12:08How should I know?
00:12:09Mom!
00:12:10She's on the phone.
00:12:11Dad!
00:12:11She's still at work.
00:12:14Great, just like old times.
00:12:17Yep, just like old times.
00:12:29Okay, okay, okay.
00:12:30Let's settle down, everybody.
00:12:31Let's settle down.
00:12:32Take your seats, take your seats, take your seats.
00:12:35Let's get started.
00:12:37Hey, kid.
00:12:40Okay, we have a new student this year.
00:12:44Mr. Oliver McCaffrey.
00:12:45I want everyone to welcome him.
00:12:48All right?
00:12:49Good.
00:12:50All right, let's open our books to page four, please.
00:12:52Come on, let's go.
00:12:54I told you to get out of my way.
00:12:56We could save a lot of time if you just tell me
00:12:58which way you want me to pass.
00:13:00What, are you some kind of smart guy?
00:13:01If I say no, you leave me alone?
00:13:02No.
00:13:03And if I say yes?
00:13:04Probably just make it worse.
00:13:06So you were being rhetorical.
00:13:07What'd you call me?
00:13:09Hey.
00:13:11Is there a problem?
00:13:12No, Mr. Buckley.
00:13:13Right, Mick?
00:13:14No problem, Mr. Buckley.
00:13:17Just making a new friend.
00:13:20See you tomorrow, Oliver.
00:13:58So...
00:14:12Hello.
00:14:28So...
00:14:58So...
00:15:29So...
00:15:39Didn't your parents ever tell you not to touch what isn't yours?
00:15:44And it's impolite to stare.
00:15:47As well as shine a flashlight in a man's face.
00:15:50Who?
00:15:51Who?
00:15:53Boo.
00:15:58Boo.
00:16:06You smashed a hole in the wall?
00:16:08Whoa.
00:16:28Wow.
00:16:31No one's been up here for a long time.
00:16:39Oliver.
00:16:41Is he gone?
00:16:42Nobody's here.
00:16:43Are you sure?
00:16:44For goodness sakes.
00:16:46Come on, Oliver.
00:16:47There's nothing to be afraid of.
00:16:51Oliver, watch out!
00:16:53Jenny.
00:16:54Not funny.
00:16:55Dude, get a grip.
00:16:56Enough, all right?
00:16:57It's late.
00:16:58We'll talk about this tomorrow.
00:17:00Yeah.
00:17:00Come on.
00:17:01No, there really was a man here.
00:17:02And he was dressed in old, tiny clothes.
00:17:04And he told me not to touch anything.
00:17:06And then...
00:17:08Mom?
00:17:09Anybody else feel that?
00:17:10What was that?
00:17:11I told you, there's somebody up here.
00:17:13And he's probably watching us right now.
00:17:15Oliver, this isn't funny.
00:17:16It's not me.
00:17:17Oliver, why is the window open?
00:17:22Duh.
00:17:28Oliver, what would possess you to smash a hole in the wall?
00:17:32Just to prove that there was somebody up here?
00:17:38Tomorrow after school, you will clean up that mess.
00:17:41Come on, everybody downstairs.
00:17:43Jenny, come on.
00:17:44No, it wasn't my imagination.
00:17:45There really was somebody up here.
00:17:47He's real.
00:17:48Oliver, enough.
00:17:52It is time to go to bed.
00:17:54I don't know why anybody would leave all their stuff up here.
00:17:58Oliver, bed.
00:18:06Listen to your mother.
00:19:27Oh, gross.
00:19:40That spell again.
00:19:43Thank you.
00:19:45Anytime, ma'am.
00:19:48And?
00:19:48It's all fine.
00:19:50No dead bats?
00:19:52No dead bats.
00:19:54No dead bugs.
00:19:56Nothing.
00:19:58Does it smell okay?
00:20:00Yeah.
00:20:07Karen McCaffrey.
00:20:10Hello?
00:20:11Hello?
00:20:20Karen McCaffrey.
00:20:22Hello?
00:20:28Hey, Mom?
00:20:31Not right now, honey.
00:20:32When's Dad coming home?
00:20:33As soon as he can.
00:20:57So...
00:21:19Do we have any donuts?
00:21:21No, honey.
00:21:22Can you have something more hearty?
00:21:24Donuts aren't brain food.
00:21:25Oliver is the brain.
00:21:26They're on the table.
00:21:30You know, I could use a little help around here.
00:21:32There's boxes everywhere.
00:21:36I know.
00:21:37I'm doing the best I can.
00:21:38Well, it's not good enough.
00:21:39I can't get it done by myself.
00:21:40Sweetheart, I have a job to do.
00:21:43So do I.
00:21:46You're funny.
00:21:47I'm not trying to be funny.
00:21:50What do you want?
00:21:51Oliver?
00:21:53Who are you talking to?
00:21:57What do you want, man?
00:22:04Well, I'm going to school.
00:22:06I'll walk with you.
00:22:08No, you won't.
00:22:14Thanks again, Ethan, for the internet password.
00:22:17No problem.
00:22:18Our house is a mess, so where should we work on our project?
00:22:23We can meet at my house or the library.
00:22:27I'd like that.
00:22:29Check you later.
00:22:35Hey!
00:22:36True to life ghost stories.
00:22:37What are you always bringing this ghost stuff for?
00:22:39Nothing. Give it back.
00:22:40Hey, Tony, maybe he's getting ready for Halloween.
00:22:42That figures.
00:22:43Only a dork like Oliver would think a ghost is scary.
00:22:45You wouldn't say that if you've actually met one.
00:22:47What?
00:22:49Nothing.
00:22:50No, come on, Oliver.
00:22:51What are you saying?
00:22:52You actually see ghosts?
00:22:54Never mind.
00:22:54No, seriously.
00:22:55What's it like?
00:22:56Do they talk to you?
00:22:58I gotta go.
00:23:06Well, he's not happy.
00:23:08Well, he's still fitting in.
00:23:10Maybe it's not him.
00:23:13Maybe it's me.
00:23:13This isn't exactly going according to plan.
00:23:16Hey, I don't like working these hours any more than you do.
00:23:18No, it's not just you.
00:23:19I mean, I'm putting in double the time
00:23:21just to prove to my clients that the move hasn't changed anything.
00:23:24Well, it hasn't, has it?
00:23:25I don't know.
00:23:26I just feel caught up in it all.
00:23:28I'm forgetting why we moved here in the first place.
00:23:31Yeah, you're right.
00:23:32You know, sometimes I come home late and I'm so tired I think I'm seeing things.
00:23:39Really?
00:23:40Because sometimes I feel like someone's watching me in the house.
00:23:45And I keep answering the phone and nobody's there except this piano music.
00:23:52Weird.
00:23:54Yeah.
00:23:56Remember Dexter?
00:23:59The guy that sold us the house?
00:24:00Yeah.
00:24:01Well, I finally tracked him down.
00:24:02He's in some place in Alaska.
00:24:03I asked him about the furniture, the stuff in the basement.
00:24:06What'd he say?
00:24:07He said it wasn't his.
00:24:08He said all the previous owners have been too afraid to move it.
00:24:10Afraid?
00:24:11Why?
00:24:12Wouldn't say.
00:24:13Just wished us luck and he hung up.
00:24:15Luck?
00:24:18Oh, great.
00:24:25Mom, I'm home!
00:24:55Mom?
00:25:20Clive?
00:25:25Wait!
00:25:51Hey!
00:25:56So
00:26:18I know you're up here.
00:26:20I just want to talk to you.
00:26:26You have to stop what you're doing.
00:26:33This is our house now.
00:26:35We live here.
00:26:37Don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38This is my house and I will thank you to vacate it immediately.
00:26:44And take the rest of your noisy mob with you.
00:26:47And close your mouth.
00:26:49You're not a trout.
00:26:51Whoa.
00:26:52Brilliantly put.
00:26:54May I quote you?
00:26:56Whoa.
00:26:57Positively Shakespearean.
00:27:00You're really here?
00:27:02Another brilliant observation.
00:27:04I can see nothing gets past you.
00:27:07Are you Clive Rutledge?
00:27:08Go away.
00:27:10I'm Oliver.
00:27:11Oliver McCaffrey.
00:27:12How nice for you.
00:27:14Well, all the books said you'd be cranky.
00:27:16So you read.
00:27:17I suppose that's something.
00:27:20But they didn't say anything about sarcastic.
00:27:23Oh, but then I do apologize.
00:27:26What possible excuse could I have for being disagreeable?
00:27:30Just because my home's been invaded.
00:27:33My things have all been moved around without so much as a buy your leave.
00:27:36But...
00:27:36And a rude young man who interrupts me while I'm talking.
00:27:42You need to remember your manners, lad.
00:27:43But you need to stop leaving your junk all around the house.
00:27:47Junk?
00:27:48I'll have you know these are my prized possessions.
00:27:51And I will put them wherever I like.
00:27:54Wait.
00:27:55So that's your stuff in the basement?
00:27:58Of course it's my stuff.
00:28:00Whose else would it be?
00:28:01This is my house.
00:28:03That's what I'm trying to tell you.
00:28:05This isn't your house anymore.
00:28:06We live here.
00:28:07Me and my family.
00:28:08My family and I.
00:28:12And we shall soon see about that.
00:28:14I know what you're trying to do.
00:28:15You're trying to scare us off with all your weird stuff and
00:28:18you making noises and you playing your dumb piano.
00:28:21Excuse me?
00:28:22But it's not gonna work.
00:28:24They think I'm doing it.
00:28:25Like I need the attention or something.
00:28:26Well, you needn't worry.
00:28:29I can be very convincing what I want to be.
00:28:31Yeah, well, good luck with that.
00:28:34You'll never get them to notice you.
00:28:36And why is that?
00:28:37Because half the time, they don't even notice me.
00:28:40Why?
00:28:41They just...
00:28:42Well, if you don't like what I'm doing, you can get out.
00:28:45All of you.
00:28:46The sooner, the better.
00:28:53So...
00:29:00So...
00:29:21Clive and Sarah, June 3rd, 1929.
00:29:29Oliver, you want some more meatloaf?
00:29:48No, thanks.
00:29:49Jenny?
00:29:50I'm fine.
00:29:51Okay.
00:29:52I picked up a pie for dessert from that little bakery.
00:29:55Oh, the one on the corner that always smells so good.
00:29:58Bacon fresh right there.
00:30:00Beautiful.
00:30:01Local fruit only.
00:30:02Couldn't resist.
00:30:03Yum.
00:30:05So, have you guys decided what you're gonna be for Halloween?
00:30:08Not yet.
00:30:10Jenny?
00:30:11I don't know.
00:30:11Something different.
00:30:13I hear there's a big party at the high school on Halloween night.
00:30:15That'll be fun.
00:30:16Super fun.
00:30:19Are you guys getting a divorce or something?
00:30:21What?
00:30:22No.
00:30:23Why?
00:30:23Why are you acting so weird?
00:30:25What?
00:30:26Like Stepford parents?
00:30:28Yeah, it's kind of freaky.
00:30:30Look, we're just...
00:30:32We're talking.
00:30:33Like a family.
00:30:35Around the table.
00:30:36Dinner.
00:30:36You know?
00:30:38Your dad and I want you both to know that we haven't forgotten
00:30:40why we moved to Emory Falls in the first place.
00:30:42That we're here for you.
00:30:43Is there anything you want to talk about?
00:30:45Anything at all?
00:30:46Whatever is on your mind.
00:30:49Of what?
00:30:50No, I get what this is about.
00:30:52It's because he's been acting all weird with the ghost stuff.
00:30:55It's not weird.
00:30:56Okay, Mom, even the kids at school are talking about it.
00:30:59He walks around with these dumb books.
00:31:01Jenny.
00:31:03Kids are making fun of him because he only talks about ghosts.
00:31:05Who wants pie?
00:31:06All he has are imaginary ghost friends.
00:31:09Clive's not my friend.
00:31:10He's a jerk and he's not imaginary.
00:31:12Who's Clive?
00:31:14Clive Rutledge.
00:31:17Used to live here.
00:31:18That's his stuff in the basement.
00:31:19How do you know that?
00:31:20Because he told me.
00:31:22Clive told you?
00:31:23You're not actually listening to this stuff.
00:31:25He wants us to leave.
00:31:27Where does Clive want us to go?
00:31:29I don't think he cares.
00:31:31Would Clive want us to move back to our other house?
00:31:35I guess.
00:31:36Because maybe he's happier there?
00:31:38What?
00:31:38They're talking about you, genius.
00:31:41Buddy, we know this move has been difficult for you.
00:31:44That's what this is about?
00:31:44The whole family dinner thing?
00:31:47You're just trying to make me feel better?
00:31:48I'm not making this up.
00:31:53What is that?
00:31:54It's coming from the attic.
00:31:56Oliver, how could you do this?
00:32:09It wasn't me.
00:32:10No, I'm sure.
00:32:11It was Clive.
00:32:12He's here.
00:32:13He's watching us.
00:32:14Oliver, you have to stop this right now.
00:32:16Do you understand?
00:32:18Enough.
00:32:19Clean this stuff up.
00:32:20Go to your room.
00:32:20Do your homework.
00:32:21Or something.
00:32:25Clive.
00:32:35I thought you were very persuasive at the dinner table.
00:32:38I had hoped that this would sway them to take you more seriously.
00:32:43Well, it didn't.
00:32:43Yes, well, clearly.
00:32:45Why don't you just let them see you already and quit picking on me all the time?
00:32:49Don't you think I'm trying?
00:32:51It doesn't work on everyone.
00:32:52Well, why not?
00:32:53Because certain people are more predisposed to this sort of thing.
00:32:59Their minds are open.
00:33:00They're more receptive to seeing like you.
00:33:03Lucky me.
00:33:04I'm trying my best.
00:33:05Can't you try harder?
00:33:07I'm tired of the way they keep looking at me.
00:33:11Well, I guess I better get this cleaned up.
00:33:14No, Oliver, allow me.
00:33:24Wow.
00:33:30There are certain advantages.
00:34:53What are you doing?
00:35:02I found one of your books in my room.
00:35:04I don't know how I got there.
00:35:05I'm returning it.
00:35:06I put it there.
00:35:07You did?
00:35:08Well, you seem to be reasonably bright, all things considered.
00:35:13And appear to have a genuine interest in science.
00:35:15So you may as well be properly educated on the subject.
00:35:18I can read it?
00:35:20You may.
00:35:24Now, what are you doing?
00:35:30I'm reading.
00:35:31Well, as long as you keep quiet, I have a great deal of work to do.
00:35:34And I'd appreciate...
00:35:37I'm reading.
00:35:49Mom, mom, I'm so late.
00:35:51You're gonna eat something.
00:35:52Okay, have a nap.
00:35:53No time.
00:35:54Please.
00:35:54Fine.
00:35:55Please.
00:35:55Yes.
00:35:56I give up.
00:36:09Well, I guess I'll go to school.
00:36:52So
00:37:15No, I think that's great.
00:37:16It's gonna match the blue in the carpet.
00:37:18Well, I'm gonna make sure they have it in stock.
00:37:21Hey, mom, I got my test back.
00:37:22Do you want to see?
00:37:23Absolutely.
00:37:24Yeah, we have three weeks.
00:37:26Plenty of time.
00:37:27Let me see.
00:37:27We could push the...
00:37:28Let me check.
00:37:29Hey, mom, I got expelled today.
00:37:31That's great, honey.
00:37:32Yes, we can move the couch delivery to Thursday, which keeps us in good time.
00:37:39Hello?
00:37:40Hello?
00:37:41Hello?
00:37:42No, don't do this to me.
00:37:44Hello?
00:37:45Hello?
00:37:52Give it back.
00:37:52You want it?
00:37:53Come get it.
00:37:54Come get it, dork.
00:37:56Be careful.
00:37:57It's not mine.
00:38:13They threw it on the ground.
00:38:15I'm really sorry.
00:38:17Well, it's not your fault.
00:38:21It's not your fault.
00:38:25The book's not too worse for wear.
00:38:29Do you know these boys?
00:38:31They're my class.
00:38:32Then you need to tell your parents.
00:38:33My parents won't do anything.
00:38:35Of course they will.
00:38:36My parents won't do anything because they don't care.
00:38:38Oliver.
00:38:39Mom, dad, Ginny, they've all got more important stuff to worry about,
00:38:42like friends or work and everything except for me.
00:38:47I could just disappear and they wouldn't even care.
00:38:51They promised it'd be different.
00:38:56That's why we came here, to spend more time together and be like a real family.
00:39:00But nothing's changed.
00:39:04They promised and they broke their promise.
00:39:08I wish I'd never come here.
00:39:10But then you and I would never have met.
00:39:15And what a shame that would have been for me.
00:39:18You mean it?
00:39:21Oliver, we can't choose our families.
00:39:24But our friends, well, that's another matter.
00:39:28And sometimes they come along when you least expect it.
00:39:33Let me show you something I discovered.
00:39:39Clive.
00:39:54Oliver.
00:40:00Neat.
00:40:01Yeah, neat.
00:40:04Let me tell you something else.
00:40:06When it comes to bullies, I have absolutely no patience.
00:40:29I'll get him outside.
00:40:30You throw the pumpkin guts on him.
00:40:32Got it?
00:40:32Got it.
00:40:36Oliver.
00:40:58Yes?
00:41:06Happy Halloween, gentlemen.
00:41:09They could see you.
00:41:11So it would seem.
00:41:15Thanks.
00:41:16I think nothing of it.
00:41:17They had it coming.
00:41:21Would you please stop doing that?
00:41:30Priceless.
00:41:33Oh, please.
00:41:35What's so funny?
00:41:36Well, they haven't a clue.
00:41:39I mean, they write with such conviction about ghosts and spirits and whatnot,
00:41:44and they have no idea what it's like.
00:41:46What is it like?
00:41:47You never talk about it.
00:41:49Well, I'm here.
00:41:53What else is there to say?
00:41:54I know, but do you ever wonder what it's about?
00:41:57Why you're here?
00:41:58I never stopped wondering.
00:42:01I never stopped wishing that...
00:42:03For what?
00:42:06Oliver?
00:42:08Up here, Mom.
00:42:13What you doing?
00:42:14Reading.
00:42:15I thought I heard you talking to somebody.
00:42:18Mom, I'm the only one up here.
00:42:19Right.
00:42:20Well, it's late.
00:42:21It's time for bed.
00:42:22Okay.
00:42:24When am I going to find the time to clear all this out?
00:42:27Eloise, can I ask you a question?
00:42:29Fire away.
00:42:30Do you believe in ghosts?
00:42:32Well, if you're referring to all that rattling chains and moaning in the graveyard kind of thing,
00:42:39then I guess I'd have to say no.
00:42:41Probably not.
00:42:42Then what do you believe in?
00:42:45Well, I believe that there is something inside each of us, way down deep.
00:42:54Something we can't see or touch, but it's there.
00:43:01Kind of an essence of who we are.
00:43:03Kind of like a soul?
00:43:05Yeah.
00:43:05Some people call it that.
00:43:06Some call it a spirit, a life force.
00:43:11It really doesn't matter what you call it.
00:43:13It's what you do with it that matters.
00:43:16What do you mean by that?
00:43:17Well, we're all put on earth with the potential to do or be anything we can imagine.
00:43:24We can make this a better place, or we can just take up space in a crowded world.
00:43:30It's up to us to decide.
00:43:33But either way, life is short.
00:43:37People tend to, you know, put things off, figure they'll get around to it one of these days.
00:43:42Well, before you know it, it's too late.
00:43:46They wake up one morning and they realize they never did the things that they could have or
00:43:53should have.
00:43:54And they still wish they did.
00:43:56Yeah.
00:43:57And I suppose that sometimes, if it's important enough, if they wish hard enough,
00:44:06they hang around after their time trying to get done the things that they didn't do in life.
00:44:13And those are ghosts?
00:44:15The ones who hang around?
00:44:16That's the way I see it, anyway.
00:44:19I mean, does it ever work?
00:44:22Do they ever get done what they should have done when they were alive?
00:44:26I hope so.
00:44:28It's the only way they can find peace and move on.
00:45:21What are you writing?
00:45:32Do your homework.
00:45:37It looks like you're writing a letter.
00:45:39It's like you're writing the same letter over and over.
00:45:42You know, I believe we had an understanding that you can stay up here as long as you're quiet.
00:45:48Sorry.
00:45:50Thank you.
00:45:51You must really like Halloween with all those pumpkins back there.
00:45:57For the love of Mike, what is it?
00:45:59Oliver, what is on your mind?
00:46:01Nothing. I was just thinking about, well, I don't really know anything about you.
00:46:08Well, fine.
00:46:09If it'll keep you quiet.
00:46:11I detest Halloween.
00:46:13It's a sorry excuse for immature behavior and childish pranks.
00:46:18Well, then why all the pumpkins?
00:46:20For Elizabeth.
00:46:21My daughter.
00:46:23It's her favorite time.
00:46:26She loved everything about it.
00:46:30Those pumpkins.
00:46:33Are they still growing?
00:46:34Yeah, you want to see?
00:46:35Perhaps another time.
00:46:37What's wrong?
00:46:38Nothing.
00:46:40Nothing is wrong.
00:46:41It's just...
00:46:46Oliver, I can't actually leave the house.
00:46:48I'm stuck here.
00:46:49Why?
00:46:50I don't know why.
00:46:52I just am.
00:46:53It's just like not everyone can see me.
00:46:56Just like I can only play the one tune on the piano.
00:46:59Just like a half dozen other rules that I don't understand.
00:47:03Well.
00:47:06I need a pumpkin for Halloween.
00:47:08You can help me choose one.
00:47:09You are a very persistent young man.
00:47:17Which one do you think?
00:47:21This one.
00:47:28How about this one?
00:47:33It's okay.
00:47:35Lots of kids have imaginary friends.
00:47:38This one?
00:47:43You like it?
00:47:44I like it.
00:47:49Looks like you're it, big boy.
00:47:52Oh, yummy.
00:47:55Yummy.
00:47:57Eloise said that these are volunteers.
00:48:00That the seeds come directly from the ones that Clive Rutledge planted over 85 years ago.
00:48:04You've taken quite an interest in old Clive.
00:48:07Well, we are living in his house.
00:48:09Well, it was his house.
00:48:10It's ours now.
00:48:11I know.
00:48:12I just mean that not much has changed since he lived here.
00:48:15Oh, come on.
00:48:16I can only work so fast.
00:48:17But tomorrow, I am clearing out that basement.
00:48:20And I clear all that stuff out and take it to charity.
00:48:25What was that?
00:48:28Okay.
00:48:29It's just an old house.
00:48:31Mom, the stuff in the basement doesn't belong to us.
00:48:33Well, technically, it came with the house.
00:48:35So shouldn't it stay with the house, technically?
00:48:39You know, I don't think old Clive would mind.
00:48:44I mind a very great deal and I will not stand for it.
00:48:48Clive, please.
00:48:49Maybe if I just talk to him, I can work it out.
00:48:52I know you mean well, Oliver.
00:48:53But you couldn't possibly understand.
00:48:56I do, really.
00:48:57This is your stuff.
00:48:58This is my life.
00:49:01All that I have left of it.
00:49:04And I will not have it taken from me.
00:49:09Clive, please.
00:49:17It's cold.
00:50:17So
00:50:48how was everybody's day?
00:51:04Not good, huh?
00:51:12It's like a tiny time capsule.
00:51:15And you found this in the basement?
00:51:17Well, I thought since you knew so much about the town and all,
00:51:19I might as well ask you.
00:51:22Their daughter, Elizabeth.
00:51:24She was born the year after he and Sarah were married.
00:51:28On the back, it says 1930.
00:51:30That sounds about right.
00:51:32My mother was one of Clive's students.
00:51:34She said that after Elizabeth was born,
00:51:36he didn't stop smiling for a week.
00:51:39Did they have any other children?
00:51:41No, I'm afraid not.
00:51:42God took Sarah before he had a chance.
00:51:45She died?
00:51:47There was an outbreak of scarlet fever the next year.
00:51:50The whole country suffered terribly,
00:51:52but it was especially hard here.
00:51:55We lost so many good people.
00:51:58Mother said that after Sarah passed,
00:52:01Clive nearly lost Elizabeth as well,
00:52:04but he never left her side.
00:52:07It was as though he willed that child to live.
00:52:11Well, did he ever remarry?
00:52:14It just wasn't in him.
00:52:16And he was devoted to that little girl.
00:52:18He raised her by himself.
00:52:20Well, what ever happened to her?
00:52:23I don't recall.
00:52:24But that's how it is in a small town.
00:52:26For the young people that grow up,
00:52:28and then first chance they get,
00:52:30they want to go out and see the world.
00:52:31Not that he misses her.
00:52:32Honey, Clive Rutledge has been dead for over 40 years.
00:52:37He doesn't miss anybody anymore.
00:52:40I detest Halloween.
00:52:42Then why all the pumpkins?
00:52:44For Elizabeth.
00:52:46It's her favorite time.
00:52:58Can I help you, young man?
00:53:00I'm looking for my dad, Doug McCaffrey.
00:53:02Oh, you must be Oliver.
00:53:05Hey, Randall Parker.
00:53:08Nice to finally meet you.
00:53:09You too.
00:53:10Is he here?
00:53:11Oh, you just missed him.
00:53:12Your mother called and he had to run home.
00:53:14Okay.
00:53:15Thanks.
00:53:20Is there something else on your mind?
00:53:23How would I find out about something
00:53:24that might have been in the paper a long time ago?
00:53:26Well, what do you want to know?
00:53:28Was there ever anything in the paper about
00:53:30something bad happening on Halloween in Emery Falls?
00:53:33Not that I recall.
00:53:35Thanks anyway.
00:53:36You know, you're welcome to look on your own if you'd like.
00:53:38We have a lot of old editions going way back.
00:53:41Really?
00:53:42Yeah, fair warning though.
00:53:45We only have the last few years on computer.
00:53:47The rest are in the archives back there.
00:53:48You're gonna have to dig through them by hand.
00:53:51If you want to get started, you can use your dad's computer.
00:53:54Okay.
00:54:07Did you find what you were looking for?
00:54:10No, sir.
00:54:11You're welcome to use the archives.
00:54:13Another time.
00:54:14I have to go.
00:54:16Take care.
00:54:29Hey, Dad?
00:54:33Mom?
00:54:45What do you have to say, young man?
00:54:47Oliver, we've been very patient up till now.
00:54:50But this, this...
00:54:52Buddy, this is too much.
00:54:53But Dad, I couldn't do something like this.
00:54:56Oh, please, Jenny.
00:54:58Mom, I can't even invite my friends over
00:55:00because I don't know when he's gonna start making
00:55:01crazy noises in the attic or tapping on the walls.
00:55:04But that's not me doing that.
00:55:06That's Clive.
00:55:07Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:55:08I'm so sorry.
00:55:09I'm so sorry.
00:55:09I'm so sorry.
00:55:10I'm so sorry.
00:55:11I'm so sorry.
00:55:11I'm so sorry.
00:55:12I'm so sorry.
00:55:12I'm so sorry.
00:55:13I'm so sorry.
00:55:13I'm so sorry.
00:55:14I'm so sorry.
00:55:14Oliver, this has got to stop.
00:55:16Son, we know that you're unhappy here
00:55:20and that it is an adjustment moving into a new home.
00:55:24What we don't understand is why you feel compelled
00:55:26to blame it on a ghost.
00:55:29Have you considered that he might be telling the truth?
00:55:32What was that?
00:55:33Now, who was that?
00:55:45Here we go.
00:55:48Oliver?
00:55:50Look out, buddy.
00:55:51Get down.
00:55:52Clive, what are you doing?
00:55:54Stop it.
00:55:56What is happening?
00:56:00Oliver, make it stop.
00:56:03Everybody, get down.
00:56:04Please.
00:56:05Oliver.
00:56:08Look out.
00:56:09Oh, my God.
00:56:10Look out.
00:56:14Clive, knock it off.
00:56:16Come on.
00:56:26Perhaps next time you'll listen to the land.
00:56:34Oliver, they see me.
00:56:36No kidding.
00:56:37But remember what I said?
00:56:39Certain people are more receptive.
00:56:40I've been trying and look at them.
00:56:45I'd say we've made quite a breakthrough.
00:56:50Clive, don't.
00:56:52Don't even think about it.
00:56:53No.
00:56:55Boo.
00:57:00Are you crazy?
00:57:02What?
00:57:02They deserve it.
00:57:04They don't listen.
00:57:05They don't pay attention.
00:57:06Honestly, I don't know how you put up with them.
00:57:08They're my family.
00:57:10That's no excuse.
00:57:15Are you guys okay?
00:57:17Who was that?
00:57:25Why must they always say that first?
00:57:29Mom, dad, Ginny.
00:57:33This is Clive Rutledge.
00:57:36The one I've been telling you about.
00:57:38And now that we've been properly introduced,
00:57:40let me just say it has been my distinct displeasure
00:57:44to have you in my home.
00:57:46Your home?
00:57:47Dad.
00:57:48And I urge you to vacate at your earliest convenience.
00:57:52You want us to leave?
00:57:54Yes, I want you to leave.
00:57:56I cannot abide these distractions in my home.
00:58:00But this is not your home.
00:58:01This is our home.
00:58:03Our family.
00:58:03This is our new home.
00:58:05Oh, I see.
00:58:07And family's important to you, is it?
00:58:09Yes, it's the most important thing.
00:58:10And Oliver, he's part of that family?
00:58:13Of course he is.
00:58:14Oliver, honey, come here.
00:58:18And yet somehow you've all managed to ignore
00:58:21what he's been trying to tell you for weeks.
00:58:24Ignore him?
00:58:25We haven't ignored Oliver.
00:58:27No.
00:58:28What you did was much worse.
00:58:32You've made him feel like there was something wrong with him
00:58:36for wanting you to keep a promise.
00:58:38Clive, it's okay.
00:58:39You did promise, didn't you?
00:58:41To be here more often, to be a family.
00:58:43That's why you moved here.
00:58:45Yes, and we will.
00:58:46Soon.
00:58:47Yeah, I know.
00:58:48This new job is just so much more demanding than you expected.
00:58:53The hard work, the long hours, all that responsibility.
00:58:56It's not your fault you couldn't be here.
00:58:59Clive, come on.
00:59:00But you're here, aren't you?
00:59:02All the time.
00:59:03You work here.
00:59:04You design things for people.
00:59:07For other people.
00:59:09Yes.
00:59:10Well, I mean...
00:59:11And who can blame you for wanting to keep them happy?
00:59:15After all, they need to know that you haven't lost your touch.
00:59:20And if that means staying on the phone night and day, ad nauseam,
00:59:25well, sacrifices must be made, huh?
00:59:30My brother was right.
00:59:30You are a jerk.
00:59:31You know, I'm surprised you ever heard a word your brother said
00:59:34with those silly doohickeys in your ears.
00:59:36Doohickeys?
00:59:37You're an mp3 player.
00:59:39Perhaps if you took them out once in a while, young lady,
00:59:42you would notice that your brother has been the victim of bullying
00:59:46almost from the day he got here.
00:59:48Well, I...
00:59:48A kind word.
00:59:50A helping hand.
00:59:51A solid right cross to that rascal's jaw.
00:59:54Anything.
00:59:56But no.
00:59:59Too much to ask of any of you.
01:00:02Because you're all so caught up in your own lives
01:00:05that you can't even see the extraordinary young man
01:00:09right in front of you.
01:00:13A family listens.
01:00:17Above all, family always listens.
01:00:39Oliver, honey?
01:00:49It's okay, you guys.
01:00:50Really.
01:00:51He didn't mean any of that stuff.
01:00:54Just ignore him.
01:00:55No.
01:00:57I never thought I'd say this about a ghost, but he was right.
01:01:01We should have believed you, bud.
01:01:03I'm sorry.
01:01:04I'm sorry, too.
01:01:06We did make a promise.
01:01:07This was supposed to be our new start,
01:01:09and we got caught up and forgot what really matters.
01:01:12Your friend Clive is right.
01:01:16Can we try again?
01:01:17Is that okay?
01:01:19Try again?
01:01:21Yeah.
01:01:28Buddy, I have a question.
01:01:30Was it true about what he said about those bullies?
01:01:33It's true.
01:01:34It's true.
01:01:36I'm sorry, Oliver.
01:01:37I saw those boys picking on you, and I didn't do anything.
01:01:40I was just too afraid of what my friends would think.
01:01:43It's okay.
01:01:44I understand.
01:01:45It's not okay.
01:01:46You're my little brother.
01:01:47I'm supposed to take care of you,
01:01:48and that's way more important than being popular.
01:01:51I think we should all start paying a lot more attention to each other.
01:01:54Yeah?
01:01:55Starting now.
01:01:56Yeah.
01:01:57Yeah.
01:01:57And at least we now know why Dexter left in such a hurry,
01:02:00and why we got such a good deal on this place.
01:02:02Right.
01:02:03And why all that stuff sat in a basement for 40 years.
01:02:06They knew.
01:02:07All those people that came before us, they knew,
01:02:09and they were too afraid to touch it.
01:02:11Right.
01:02:12Clive wouldn't let them.
01:02:12I guess he just scared them off instead.
01:02:15Well, why wouldn't they tell anyone?
01:02:18For the same reason we're not gonna tell anyone when we move out.
01:02:21Because they'll think we're nuts.
01:02:24Move?
01:02:25Yeah, well, I mean, honey, we can't live here now.
01:02:27Why not?
01:02:28We don't have much choice.
01:02:30Yeah, Oliver, I don't know much about ghosts,
01:02:32but I think the way it works is when they tell you to leave, you leave.
01:02:37But he's not like that, really.
01:02:39Can I just talk to him?
01:02:40He's a ghost.
01:02:41He's a real ghost.
01:02:42You can't have a conversation with a ghost.
01:02:44Dad.
01:02:46You just did.
01:02:55Clive?
01:03:03Well, I suppose they're scared half out of their wits, huh?
01:03:06Yeah.
01:03:07Ready to pack their bags, are they?
01:03:09Yeah.
01:03:09And you?
01:03:10Thanks for what you said.
01:03:13No, I shouldn't have lost my head.
01:03:15I got kind of carried away.
01:03:19They still love you, Oliver.
01:03:21I know.
01:03:25This house used to be full of love.
01:03:29My wife, my daughter.
01:03:31They were my world.
01:03:33I never stopped thinking about them.
01:03:36Elizabeth, that's my daughter,
01:03:39used to come up here to play while I would be preparing my school lessons or playing the piano.
01:03:46She even had a thing where she had her toys that she would keep in this little
01:03:51secret compartment that only she and I knew about.
01:03:54Of course, as she got older, we spent less time together.
01:03:59But you still loved her.
01:04:01It takes more than love.
01:04:03It takes patience, understanding, and forgiveness.
01:04:08These are the things that make a family strong.
01:04:11Without them, even the sturdiest bond can be broken.
01:04:15And then, one day, you may just discover that you're not alone.
01:04:25It's too late to fix it.
01:04:29It's too late to undo...
01:04:35To undo a mistake.
01:04:55Something happened when Clive was alive.
01:05:04Something to do with his family and Halloween.
01:05:08I don't know what it was, but I think that's why he's still here.
01:05:13And that's why we have to go to the newspaper office.
01:05:18This is Clive and his family?
01:05:22He made a mistake.
01:05:24And he can't forgive himself for it.
01:05:26They look so happy.
01:05:28He loved them more than anything.
01:05:30And now he's stuck here because of whatever he did.
01:05:33We have to help him.
01:05:35We have to set him free.
01:05:37Honey, listen.
01:05:38We want to help Clive too, but how can we?
01:05:41We don't even know why he's stuck here.
01:05:45He told me that a family is the strongest bond.
01:05:48Well, I guess he's right about that.
01:05:50If we don't help him, he'll be a ghost forever.
01:05:53And he'll never get to see his family again.
01:05:56Please, we have to help him.
01:05:57And we will, but why are we here?
01:06:00What do you want us to do?
01:06:02We have to find out everything there is to know about Clive.
01:06:05It's the only way we can figure out why he's still here.
01:06:09Okay, but sweetie, why are we here at Dad's work?
01:06:12Yeah.
01:06:13We have to go through the archives.
01:06:23Come on, guys.
01:06:31Buddy, this newspaper is over 100 years old.
01:06:34There's gonna be thousands of copies to go through.
01:06:36Sweetie, it could take weeks.
01:06:37Or longer.
01:06:38Not with the album.
01:06:40There's a picture in there from every important time in Clive's life.
01:06:42And every picture has a date on the back.
01:06:44Let me narrow it down.
01:06:46Okay, let's give it a go.
01:06:481930.
01:06:54We compare the picture dates to the paper dates.
01:07:03And we see if anything bad happened.
01:07:05And if it had anything to do with Clive.
01:07:08Sounds like a plan.
01:07:10I'm impressed.
01:07:11Here.
01:07:23The couple announces their engagement to be married.
01:07:30Mr. Clive Rutledge, the new school teacher at Emory Falls.
01:07:33And Miss Sarah Eugene Covington.
01:07:37The happy couple is pleased to announce the birth of Elizabeth Rutledge.
01:07:55On October 31st at 9 30 a.m.
01:07:59She was born on Halloween.
01:08:07Oh, loving wife and mother.
01:08:13Mrs. Sarah Eugenia Rutledge was taken by the hand of the Lord to a quieter, gentler place.
01:08:23An inspiring valedictory address for the class of 1948 was given by Elizabeth Rutledge.
01:08:30That's all it says about her.
01:08:33That's it?
01:08:34I don't understand.
01:08:36I mean, Sarah died.
01:08:38But after that, everything seems fine.
01:08:42And the only connection he had to Halloween was Elizabeth's birth.
01:08:46That's a good thing, right?
01:08:47So why is he still here?
01:08:49We should just go home.
01:08:50No, no, no, honey, wait.
01:08:52We're gonna find a way to help Clive.
01:08:54We are.
01:08:54No, we've been through all the pictures.
01:08:56We know everything there is to know about him.
01:08:58This was just a big waste of time.
01:08:59He loved them both so much.
01:09:01Now he'll never get to see them again.
01:09:03I still don't understand what he had against Halloween.
01:09:06I mean, all those birthdays, all those celebrations.
01:09:09Honey, be careful.
01:09:11It won't go in.
01:09:12All right, look, I will help you.
01:09:16Wait a minute.
01:09:17These two pages are stuck together.
01:09:21What's that?
01:09:23It's postmarked November 1st, 1948.
01:09:26It's addressed to Clive.
01:09:33Mr. and Mrs. A. Walden are happy to announce the marriage of their son Howard
01:09:37to Miss Elizabeth Rutledge.
01:09:38Elizabeth got married?
01:09:40In 1948.
01:09:42But why would she send Clive an invitation?
01:09:44Wouldn't he be there anyway?
01:09:46All right, let me see that.
01:09:50It's not an invitation.
01:09:52It's an announcement.
01:09:54They were already married.
01:09:55You mean Clive didn't go to his own daughter's wedding?
01:09:58November 1st.
01:10:00It's the day after Halloween.
01:10:03Hold on.
01:10:04Elizabeth was born in 1930.
01:10:07She was married November 1st, 1948.
01:10:10The day after her 18th birthday.
01:10:14The first day she could get married without her parents' consent.
01:10:17They loved.
01:10:20She ran away?
01:10:22Sort of.
01:10:22It's what people used to do if their parents didn't approve of the marriage.
01:10:26Yeah, don't even think about it, Jen.
01:10:29That is why there are no more pictures of her because she never came home.
01:10:33You never saw her again.
01:10:35We have to find her.
01:10:48I'll get it!
01:10:52Trick or treat!
01:10:54Happy Halloween!
01:10:55Thank you!
01:10:56It's the scariest two I've ever seen.
01:10:58Have a good night.
01:10:59Go give someone a fright.
01:10:59Happy Halloween!
01:11:03Okay.
01:11:09Oh, the Halloween teeth.
01:11:10Yes!
01:11:12I was kind of hoping that would be her.
01:11:13Don't worry.
01:11:14It's still early.
01:11:15Come on.
01:11:30Trick or treat!
01:11:31Hi.
01:11:32Help yourself.
01:11:36Thank you.
01:11:37Happy Halloween!
01:11:38Be safe!
01:11:45What was the pirate movie rated?
01:11:47R.
01:11:48What's the pirate's favorite letter in an alphabet?
01:11:50R.
01:11:50R, you think it'd be R, but it's really the C.
01:11:55I'll get it, I'll get it, I'll get it.
01:11:56You think it's her?
01:11:58Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you.
01:12:03My name is Betty Walden.
01:12:06And I got a message from an Oliver McCaffrey.
01:12:13Yes, please come in.
01:12:15We weren't sure if you were going to make it.
01:12:17We're so happy you're here.
01:12:19Oliver?
01:12:20It's Betty Walden.
01:12:21I'm Oliver.
01:12:23Oliver?
01:12:24Well, yes.
01:12:25You wrote me about some things that belong to my father.
01:12:30Yes.
01:12:32You're Elizabeth?
01:12:33Oh, yes.
01:12:35I don't think anybody's called me by that name for a long time.
01:12:40But I'm Elizabeth.
01:12:43Can I show you something?
01:12:44Sure.
01:12:45Come on.
01:12:47Okay.
01:12:49Okay.
01:12:53We spent so much time up here when I was growing up.
01:12:58Yes.
01:12:59Oh, sometimes he'd play the piano.
01:13:03So you remember?
01:13:05Well, yes.
01:13:08I haven't been here for about 60 years, but
01:13:14there's not a day goes by when I don't think about it.
01:13:18Oh.
01:13:26How many times must I ask you not to touch my piano?
01:13:31Oh, I do beg your pardon.
01:13:35I see we have a guest.
01:13:37How very nice.
01:13:38Please make yourself at home.
01:13:41I wonder.
01:13:46Where's she going?
01:13:48What are you doing?
01:13:49Oliver, tell her.
01:13:50Stop her.
01:14:08My toys.
01:14:11They're still here.
01:14:13Elizabeth.
01:14:18Oh.
01:14:23What's wrong?
01:14:25Why didn't you ever come back?
01:14:26Oh, now, Oliver.
01:14:28That was a long time ago.
01:14:30Well, didn't you miss it?
01:14:33More than anything.
01:14:36What happened?
01:14:38Well, it was my 18th birthday.
01:14:44And I was in love.
01:14:49My father didn't approve.
01:14:53And in those days, a young woman did not go against her father's wishes.
01:14:59At least, not if she ever wanted to come home again.
01:15:07My father told me I had to choose.
01:15:11So, I chose and married my one true love.
01:15:28All I ever wanted was to see him again.
01:15:38To hear his voice.
01:15:40But he died before I got the chance.
01:15:46But I have had a wonderful life.
01:15:50I love my family.
01:15:53And I never regretted my choice.
01:15:56No, not for a moment.
01:15:59Except that my father was not a part of it.
01:16:04My father was not a part of it.
01:16:08I'm so sorry, Elizabeth.
01:16:11I was just a...
01:16:12I was a stubborn old fool.
01:16:14He still loved you, Elizabeth.
01:16:15Oh, thank you.
01:16:18Thank you, Oliver.
01:16:20But, uh...
01:16:20No, it's true.
01:16:22That's what I wanted to show you.
01:16:29I found this photo album with his things.
01:16:31Oh, you did?
01:16:32I'm sure it belongs to you.
01:16:34Thank you.
01:16:41I just...
01:16:42I tried to hold you too tightly.
01:16:44It was...
01:16:45It was just to keep you safe.
01:16:48I was afraid of losing you.
01:16:51The way I lost your mother.
01:16:55Why can't she hear me?
01:16:57I'm sure that, um...
01:17:00If he was here,
01:17:01he would want you to know how sorry he is.
01:17:04And how much he loved you.
01:17:06And if he could ever do it again.
01:17:09Thank you.
01:17:10But I think my father made his feelings very clear.
01:17:16If there's anything, you know, up here that you would want...
01:17:19My toys.
01:17:20We'll ship them to you.
01:17:22Oh, thank you.
01:17:23Well, I really must be going because my husband is waiting.
01:17:28It's my birthday!
01:17:29Yeah, we know.
01:17:30Happy birthday.
01:17:31Thank you.
01:17:37You have to do something.
01:17:39I can't.
01:17:40Well, you have to try.
01:17:42Try, try, try, try what?
01:17:44Try to believe that all he ever wanted to do is just make things right.
01:17:49Oh, if I only could.
01:17:56Wait a minute.
01:18:00Oh, this is for you.
01:18:08Thank you.
01:18:10What?
01:18:13My dear Elizabeth.
01:18:15For far too many years, I have searched for the right words to express the regret I feel
01:18:21for what I've done.
01:18:22And to beg your forgiveness.
01:18:25At long last, I understand.
01:18:27There are no words.
01:18:29Only a profound emptiness for every lost moment of the future we did not share.
01:18:35But if you ever read this letter, I hope you will take comfort, as I do,
01:18:40in knowing that we will be together again one day.
01:18:44The three of us.
01:18:46And I will spend eternity earning your trust and forgiveness.
01:18:50Your loving father.
01:18:51Bye.
01:18:52Bye.
01:18:59What the fuck?
01:19:22Come on.
01:19:23Let's go.
01:19:28Come on.
01:19:42He's gone?
01:19:45Yeah.
01:19:47What's gonna happen to him now?
01:19:51He'll be all right.
01:19:54Hey.
01:19:56So will we.
01:19:57I promise.
01:19:59Come on.
01:20:05Well, come on, McCaffrey's.
01:20:06We got a party to get to.
